Hands on Lean Simulation

1 or 1-1/2 days Workshop

Highly interactive, hands-on simulations are being used by many organizations to introduce core
principles related to Lean Conversion and continuous improvement. A live simulation will demonstrate the impact of implementing many Lean techniques. This workshop can be tailored to simulate the
dynamics of any work enviroment. We will introduce your organization to a variety of tools (depending on your needs) such as: quality at the source, point of use storage,
kanban/pull, cellular flow, lean accounting, and many others.

Course DescriptionThis workshop combines classroom discussion and live simulation with interactive processes that
actually create a product to demonstrate the value of Lean Conversion techniques. In this hands-on workshop, we present an introduction to Lean Conversion concepts, methods, and tools while
simulating an enviroment to put these concepts to work for you. Participants will also learn the 8 types of waste and how to eliminate them through the Lean “Building Blocks”. We will discuss and
implement various tools such as Workplace Organization (5S), Quick Changeover, Total Productive Maintenance, Visual Workplace, Cellular Design, and Poka-Yoke. This workshop will help you understand
Lean conversion principles and the benefits of they provide.

Upon completion of the session, participants walk away with a clear understanding of the “Lean Journey” — its concepts and philosophies.

Learning Objective

In this workshop participants will learn how to:

Redesign front-end and operational processes

Maximize customer value

Minimize cost and waste

View processes as part of a total “value-stream” system

Identify waste in the value stream.

Who Should AttendAnyone and everyone that would like to gain an understanding of Lean Conversion or is ready to
partake in a "Lean Journey."
